Wendover Pro Solo
 
Wow :eek: That is a lot of really good drivers in B Stock. I think that is the most competitively deep class Ive seen in a while. I wonder who will win. I usually hate to lose but it will be fun to see how close I can get. (hoping to be within 2-3 seconds behind)

PedalFaster 05-13-2005 08:08 PM

Yeah, it sucks. :p Last year I was able to consistently trophy in BS at national-level events, but this year, despite the fact that I think I'm driving better, I've only managed one so far. My trophy shelf is getting lonely. :)

Seriously, though, competition improves the breed. Next weekend will be interesting, but what I'm really looking forward to is West Coast and East going head-to-head for the first time in Topeka...

ya' gotta' pedal faster man :D

I guess the cats out of the bag now ;)

is there even one decent hotel in this craphole town? :confused:

dknv 05-15-2005 10:35 PM

The Peppermill's hotels (Peppermill; Montego Bay) on the Nevada side of the border are supposed to be decent, but man, the price goes up starting Thursday. :(

PedalFaster 05-17-2005 03:44 PM

G.H. Sharp just signed up. This is going to be crazy. I'd say this is a tougher field than B Stock had at Nationals last year. :D

TeamRX8 05-17-2005 04:10 PM

well I have no setup time in my car and GH has never driven an RX-8 in competition, I'm sure the rest of the field has nothing to worry about with us ...

clyde 05-17-2005 05:05 PM

That's what Friday and Saturday are for. What about Sunday? :p

rnoll98 05-17-2005 07:28 PM

Man, this is gonna be fun! I think we're the 2nd biggest field at the event right now, though once Ralph gets classed properly we'll be down to 10.

I think someone missed the memo about B Stock being dead. :eeps:

MazdaRich 05-17-2005 11:05 PM

S2000 is a B-Stock car in ProSolo huh? I guess that's fair....

TeamRX8 05-18-2005 12:08 AM

no, that's not correct, they just used his info from last year to pre-register him. S2000's run in A Stock for both Solo2 and ProSolo. That will be corrected during registration on Friday

ULLLOSE 05-18-2005 02:10 AM

OK Steve... You are in for half... Sending the wife to Palm Springs to shop for the weekend so some people have a chance. :p :D

Ok, so I know Randy, Joe and Mark got new V710s... I am the only one bringing rags? I have a new set in the garage but I would like to save those incase the next ship from Korea hits an iceburg. :eek:

PedalFaster 05-18-2005 02:13 AM

We're bringing rags as well...

I heard they were out of 245-17 as well. However I know a guy thought just bought 10 of them. :(

Banannie 05-18-2005 09:02 AM

Steve, you'll have new tires, although it's costing a buttload to get them in time

ronbauer 05-18-2005 05:58 PM

Yep, I ordered up 4 of the 245/45/17s. I wanted to make sure we had extras.....

Ron

Banannie 05-23-2005 09:11 AM

Finishing order:

1st Bauer,
2nd Noll,
3rd Goeke

can't remember from there, they were all so close... but I think 4th was Isley, 5th Sharp?, 6th Hui

Random observations from an eventful Pro:
    • The lead was changing all weekend long -- the standings were Sharp, Hui, Goeke after Saturday morning, and Noll, Goeke, Bauer after Saturday afternoon. Randy, Joe, Ron, and Jason went crazy chopping off time on Sunday morning, while G.H., Mark, and I all pretty much sucked on Sunday.
    • Joe just got his car, wheels, tires, shocks, and alignment all done in the week before the event, but did pretty well for himself regardless. Saturday afternoon saw him under his car, drilling a stiffer hole in his sway bar in an attempt to tame the back end. He only had time to drill a hole on one side of the bar before he had to run again, so he kept it that way all weekend.
    • Mark blew second in his new car on his first run. Debbie (dknv) kindly loaned him and G.H. her car for their remaining runs. I believe the only prep difference between Debbie's car and Mark's is that she has single-adjustable Konis whereas he has doubles.
    • CS and FS both got bumped to BS, which resulted in what was probably a record B Stock field. Thankfully most of us managed to stay in front of those guys. :)
    It's killing me that we only have one lightly-attended West Coast event between now and Nationals.

    Mark's car has a custom exhaust also.

    The L1 4th place keychain I won is the greatest, most Awesome keychain I will ever get! The only drawback to the weekend for me, is that I am now totally in love with the 710's. :D

    Icemastr 05-23-2005 03:27 PM

    Hey pedal faster what have you been driving and whats your real name? I have been at both the last two NWR events. I am probably going to be in SM2 at the prosolo and the NT at packwood in July.

    Yeah I have co-driven at two events now in cars with the V710s and I love them, but I am slow so I don't know anything anyways but I will be getting some V710s soon hehe.

    You're breaking the code of anonymity! ;)

    My name's Stephen Hui, and I usually drive a red Porsche 968. I'm at almost every NWR region event, although I'll be in a different car at the next few (the 968's getting some work done).

    Forgot to mention that I also met idriverx8 at the Pro... :cool:
